Michelangelo Antonioni
"It was precisely by photographing and enlarging the surface of the things around me that I sought to discover what was behind those things." —Michelangelo Antonioni
With L`Avventura he piqued the world`s curiosity. With La Notte and L`Eclisse, he mystified audiences and broke hearts. With Red Desert, his first color picture, he blurred all the lines between art, cinema, and still photography. Continuing his creative explosion with Blow-Up, Zabriskie Point, The Passenger, and The Identification of a Woman, Michelangelo Antonioni cemented his reputation as the most innovative and artistic filmmaker of his generation. With a plethora of illustrations, drawn in part from Antonioni`s own archives, this book explores his life and career from his earliest documentaries to his latest collaborations.

"Since Seymour Chatman literally wrote the book on cinematic narrative, who better to tackle a tome on Michelangelo Antonioni (TASCHEN), the man who brought non-narrative filmmaking into the mainstream? What's more, the highly readable, eponymous book is chockfull of never-before-seen images hand-picked from the personal collection of Antonioni."
